Hello, There are two types of Lung Cancer in stage 3: 3A and 3B. The treatment options decided by a doctor for stage 3 lung cancer will be based on the type of cancer and the overall health of the patient.

  • Lung Cancer Treatment options for 3A type includes:
  1. Chemotherapy to shrink the tumor followed by surgery
  2. Radiation to shrink the tumor before surgery
  3. Surgery followed by chemotherapy to prevent reoccurrence
  4. Surgery followed by radiation to prevent reoccurrence
  5. Chemotherapy, radiation, or both when surgery is not possible
  6. Targeted Therapy
  7. Immunotherapy
     
  • Lung Cancer Treatment options for 3B type includes:
  1. Chemotherapy
  2. Radiation therapy
  3. Targeted therapy
  4. Chemotherapy and radiation in combination

Surgery is not often an option given in the 3B type cancer, because of the extent of tumor growth and additional organs involved. Hope this answer has solved your query. You can find hospitals for this treatment, on our page - Lung Cancer Treatment Hospitals in India.
